Got kids? Keep this in mind
- Share via
To mark the 20th anniversary of the Fair Housing Amendments Act, here are some reminders for families with kids:
* Families may not be denied housing because they have a child.
* Families may not be restricted to one area of a building or complex, such as on lower floors.
* Families may not be evicted because they have a child.
* Rules cannot unfairly target children, such as forbidding them from a common area that adults use.
* Ads may not state that children are not allowed, except for seniors-only housing.
Victims of housing discrimination may report it by contacting HUD at (800) 669-9777.
